Cotton Farmers Need Not Be Reluctant To Sell Their Domestic Demand For Cotton Stability

Cotton is an important agricultural product in China.

Industrial raw materials are of great significance to the development of agriculture, rural areas and even the national economy.

Since the beginning of this year, cotton production in some parts of China has been affected by disasters. Now cotton sales are facing price pressures at home and abroad.

At present, when cotton is listed, farmers' friends really want to know about the cotton market.

A cotton grower reflects that cotton is losing money this year. What is the trend of cotton prices? Should we continue to grow in large areas next year?

Experts: in the long run, domestic cotton demand will remain stable.

Gao Fang, executive vice president and Secretary General of the China Cotton Association, said: Overall, the outlook for the global cotton market this year is not very optimistic. The world's cotton is a bumper harvest, but demand is weak, so the whole world is oversupply.

From the domestic market, the area of cotton has decreased and output has declined. However, due to the poor textile demand situation, it is also a phased supply and demand situation.

But in the long run, our country is a big textile country, and there is still demand for cotton. At present, it is mainly affected by the global economic environment. In the long run, cotton production will continue to develop steadily, and cotton is still needed in China.

Open purchase of cotton to protect cotton farmers' interests

Gao Fang: from the present point of view, this year's policy is also a temporary cotton purchase and storage policy implemented by our country.

This policy has been implemented in the past year, and the state has acquired about 3000000 tons of cotton, which has a great effect on the support of the cotton market.

In the past 2011 years, domestic cotton prices fell by 25% in general, but the international cotton prices fell by 42% over the same period. Although they were all down, the policy of purchasing and storage has curbed the sharp fall in cotton prices.

This year, the state raised the price of collecting and storing up from 19800 yuan per ton last year to 20400 yuan per ton this year, an increase of 600 yuan.

The second is to open up and store cotton, that is to say, the cotton that the textile enterprises can not afford to buy will be collected by the state, open up and store up, and protect the interests of farmers.

Experts: cotton farmers can not wait and see.

Mao Shuchun, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: as early as the beginning of the year, the state issued cotton temporary storage and storage.

And the price is 600 yuan higher than last year, which is 20400 yuan per ton.

Up to now, most of the farmers' sales are very positive, but there are also some places where there are not enough enterprises to collect and store, and few have been sold. Some areas have not even started, and some enterprises are watching.

In response to these circumstances, the relevant state departments have repeatedly stressed that the acquisition of non takeover will not be rejected or restricted, and that the price will not be suppressed, and no ious will be paid.

What we want to talk to farmers is to actively sell, do not wait and see. This is the most active and effective way to target domestic and foreign markets this year.

Scientific cotton planting can reduce costs.

Mao Shuchun: reducing the cost of cotton production is a major event in cotton production. The cost of cotton production in China has reached 1503.6 yuan per mu last year, an increase of 21% over the previous year. In these 1500 yuan, labor costs accounted for more than half, and materialized costs accounted for less than half.

To reduce the cost of cotton production, we must rely on scientific cotton planting and reduce the cost on the basis of further increasing the yield per unit area. This is an effective way to increase efficiency.

A series of scientific cotton planting technical measures should be adopted to reduce cotton production cost.

The first is to use fine varieties and high quality processed seeds, and the fine varieties have great potential for increasing production. The fine quality seeds are coated seeds, and the coated seeds contain insecticides and fungicides, providing the basic conditions for precision semi precision seeding.

Good seed and good planting are the key links to increase yield per unit area, simplify management and save cost.

The second is to use light and simplified techniques, such as light seedling raising, simplified pruning, use of slow and controlled fertilization, and pest control according to needs.

The third is mechanized technology, including mechanization of tillage, mechanization of seeding, and film mulching with mechanical film to reduce labor input.

In Xinjiang, mechanized harvesting is also used to save labor.

The fourth is to take an active part in the socialized service of cotton production implemented by the government.

Including "replacing generation and planting", unified prevention and control, soil testing and formula fertilization can reduce labor input, which is a very effective way to test in many places such as the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

There are many works in light seedling raising, including substrate seedling raising, plug seedling raising, water floating seedling raising and machine pplanting.

It is hoped that farmers' friends will make use of science and technology, scientifically grow cotton, increase yield per unit, reduce costs, and further increase seed cotton.
